Subject: On the important French Fry Question

McDonald's fries _rule_.  I speak as a connoisseur who's done serious
sampling on four continents.  With the exception of the maquis
restaurants along the West African coast (it's the palm oil -- oh
they're sublime) McDonalds' fries, when they're fresh and hot, truly
are hard to beat.

It's occasionally been suggested to me that a childhood of working
class Irish cuisine [sic] has rather biased my judgement here.  But I
was vindicated a few years ago when a local Chicago magazine did a
fries cover story and polled all sorts of Leading Citizens and
five-star chefs on their favorite fries in the area.  An incredibly
high percentage, including a couple of the Escoffier-esque chefs,
cited MacDonalds.

Though I'm with Charles: Burger King's burgers are better and this
can be a dilemma.
